Iran fired at a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday after reimposing restrictions on the waterway in response to a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

Disgusting. This is why mass pardoning people for politics is never a good idea.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

34… 4… what’s a little exaggeration of 30 ships amongst friends? (4 ships transited yesterday)

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war. Art of the deal, baby.

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

Trump went from “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” to this.

Trump keeps disappearing at the first of the month. Will he come back with a new giant bruise on his hand?

The president's first post since an F-16 was shot down over Iran with one American still missing.

Pam Bondi’s portrait was taken down at DOJ and tossed in a trash bin soon after her firing. MS NOW obtained the photo. The move reflects how deeply unpopular she was among career officials. Ken Dilanian & Carol Leonnig scoop www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

OMG!

Sotomayor Grills Trump Solicitor General: Are You Asking to Allow the Government to ‘Unnaturalize People?’ #Mediaite

If you didn’t see it coming, you weren’t paying attention. And he doesn’t have to do it formally to defy Congress, he can do it with actions that they can’t stop.

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

But when Trump was confronted about the Epstein birthday card he claimed that he doesn’t draw. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

The Dow has almost completely erased the gains for Trump’s entire presidency. Are we great again yet?

everything is more inconvenient and expensive, nothing works anymore, goons might invade your city and kidnap you or your neighbors, and there’s a loud asshole forcing you to pay attention to him at all times

Just a reminder in case you missed it yesterday that Glenn Greenwald is an awful psycho. Has he written and done some good things over the years? Yes. Does that alter his fundamental character of being a narcissistic, spiteful bigot? Nope.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

I am now confident this will pass.

The historical parallel is Benedict Arnold’s popularity before and after he was outed as a foreign spy.

Not only are the conniving Republicans dishonest and devious, this clip shows how careless they are when they go about their shenanigans.

But her emails

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

“I broke it now you fix it.”

Iran won't be a forever war. We will give up in a few weeks . by Pete Hegseth

Not really breaking any news here.

Democrats are asking where $63M in settlements pledged by private companies to Trump’s planned presidential library went after the original fund was dissolved last year. Since we’re asking questions, where’s the $400M+ Trump said would fund his not-needed ballroom?

Trump said we were going to war to demand that Iran turn over all their enriched uranium to us, and we also demanded regime change where Trump would choose the new leader. Now Trump is apparently declaring victory after accomplishing none of that.

The Middle East is on fire. Gas prices are soaring. Jobs are disappearing. Senile Satan is golfing again.

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer. Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around. It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar. We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war. War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

A Kuwaiti F-18 could do the funniest thing right now

We’re already seeing mission creep. We went from ‘a week of strikes’ to ‘maybe 4-5 weeks’ in literally a day. I’m reminded of the conservative panic that Obama was using all our bombs on ISIS, and I hope someone is telling Trump that no, we can’t actually do this forever.

Mark Oppenheimer’s story of how he had to retake his author photo because of his dog’s dick delights me on some fundamental level I cannot entirely comprehend. open.substack.com/pub/markoppe...

@deanwb.bsky.social pls post here as well! 🙏

The law of unintended consequences. We will see how long this policy lasts after Wall Street starts calling Trump.

It’s great that Republicans on House Oversight established a precedent today for First Ladies to be deposed about Epstein. Can’t wait until Democrats take over the committee at the end of the year.

This is not a fake narrative being peddled by leftists in the media. It is exactly what Anthropic is saying. They aren’t prepared to give up on these 2 conditions and are willing to put their $200 million contract at risk over it. All Hegseth can say is, ‘Trust me, bro.’

There are two explanations for the Trump Admin’s Russia’s policy: 1. This admin is secretly aligned with Putin and lying about that to the world and the American people, or 2. they are incredibly naive fools who ignore overwhelming evidence that contradicts their worldview.

WTF are these bumbling incompetents doing? apnews.com/article/mili...

Viktor Orban is a pro-Putin authoritarian thug and the fact that Trump, Vance & Rubio have openly campaigned for him against freedom-loving Hungarians who want him finally out of power is disgusting, dishonorable & disgraceful. But typical of them because that is what they are.

Ukrainian long-range drone strikes continue

Basking In Reflected Glory (BIRG) is a social psych technique of raising your OWN self-esteem by reflecting that of a higher profile winner. In the 1970's R. Cialdini noticed that when people's teams won they used "we" and used "they" w losses. Most of this SOTU has been BIRGing.

None of the media is asking, and it's driving me crazy. IF TRUMP RAID 'MIDNIGHT HAMMER' "OBLITERATED" IRAN'S NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, WHY DO WE SO UGENTLY NEED THEM TO SIGN A NUCLEAR TREATY? Either Trump's claims about the raid's result were a lie, or his "justification" for a strike on Iran is fake.
